Rails root permalink routing

In Rails, the standard routing to objects is nested to a Model's name, example.com/model/object_id.

Is it anyhow possible to access objects without the Model part, so example.com/object_id shadowly accesses example.com/model/object_id?

Rails includes routes like you said. You can add constraints to determine object_id is integer or string.

get '/:id', to: 'articles#show', constraints: { id: /^\d/ }

This is for more information about routes constraint.

What you are first describing are the RESTful routes provided by the resources template in the rails router.

You can define different routes in the config/routes.rb file.

And for resources, you can provide a path option, where you can define a path.

resources :models, path: "/"

Will provide models resources at the route path. So a GET request to "/" would fire the "models#index" action and "/1/edit" would delegate to "models#edit"
